Music by- A Tribe Called Red, Nelly Furtado, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis feat. Mary Lambert A growing indigenous rights movement, called Idle No More, was holding gatherings on Friday the 11th 2013 in dozens of cities across Canada and the U.S., and in various countries around the world, including Colombia, Chile, and Puerto Rico. Idle No More is an ongoing protest movement originating among the Aboriginal peoples in Canada comprising the First Nations, Metis and Inuit peoples and their non-Aboriginal supporters in Canada, and to a lesser extent, internationally. It has consisted of a number of political actions worldwide, inspired in part by the hunger strike of Attawapiskat Chief Theresa Spence[1] and further coordinated via social media. A reaction to alleged abuses of indigenous treaty rights by the current federal government, the movement takes particular issue with the recent omnibus bill Bill C-45.
